Re: [ACAT] S.h. heading Political theology

Greg:

According to Fr. Richard P. McBrien, author of Catholicism,   2ed., 
HarperCollins 1994 p 54 political theology is, 

"...insists on the connection between theology and practice and, therefore,  
suggests that every statement about God and salvation must be translatable 
into  a statement about the human condition in its total social and political  
situation;"

In essence, political theology is the general term for the many  
particularities in theology today. Meaning, 
feminist theology, latino/latina theolgy, black theology, etc.

The works of James Cone, Rosemary Radford Reuther, Jon Sobrino, and many  
others, would
fall into this classification.

I hope this helps. If not, then the above referenced source should guide  you 
further.
